- irrational 3y agoOr read whatever books they have saved on their phones (which is what I would do since I don’t have any kind of videos saved).
- throwaway290 3y agoWho ever watches Netflix on the phone?
- ahtihn 3y agoA surprising amount of (generally young) people on public transport.
- red-iron-pine 3y agothat wasn't save brah, thats just crushing mobile data
- viraptor 3y agoPeople who want to watch something on the plane where you have no/limited choice of quality movies and/or the screen is way too bright and warm. It's the best you've got, not the best in general.
- throwaway290 3y agoUsually planes have a decent catalogue (remember this was a bugged entertainment system on one flight) and if we are talking about watching on a phone quality doesn't matter (if anything plane screen is bigger).
- viraptor 3y agoThey sometimes do. Whether that's usually really depends on what flights you take.
- account42 3y ago> Usually planes have a decent catalogue That has not been my experience unless you like a random selection of the latest big-budget movies mixed with weird artsy films. > and if we are talking about watching on a phone quality doesn't matter (if anything plane screen is bigger). Physically bigger (compared to a phone) but almost guaranteed to be lower resolution, have worse colors and contrast and the touch controls are barely working. You can also bring a tablet or laptop if you prefer a larger screen.
- account42 3y agoSame, except without Netflix. I'm constantly surprised people use these streaming services.
